The probability value (p-value) reported as the result of a chi-square, t-test, or ANOVA is the most important "conclusion-making" piece of information. This value tells us the likelihood of observing the results we have, assuming the null hypothesis is true. Based on this probability, we can determine whether or not to reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.
